In a couple of days, MSR is set to release their new MicroRocket stove. The MicroRocket will be MSR's first entry into the lightweight, high-end gas stove market. (The existing PocketRocket is more of an entry level stove).

Someone gifted me an optimus crux lite and I bought a nice little Ti pot off of steap and cheap. Last trip my buddy brought it in as a backup to my windpro setup. We had boil meals and ended up never even using the windpro. I really like these micro canister stoves, very very quick and easy. I found it to be pretty efficient even with no windscreen. I think the focus of the burners helps a lot, even with the canister width pots.

Don't throw away your WindPro just yet. In a serious wind, they'll do much better. A WindPro can handle larger pots. If you turn the canister upside down, a WindPro can operate in much lower temperatures than a MicroRocket or Crux Lite.

The MR or Crux are great little stoves for fair weather fast and light trips. The WindPro is better for "real" cooking or poor weather. "Horses for courses" as they say.
